Overview
yesterday एक बेहतरीन फिल्म देखी, लेकिन आपका मतलब था कि आप tomorrow जाएँगे। ऐसा होता है! ये तीन छोटे शब्द - today, tomorrow, और yesterday - अंग्रेजी में समय को समझने के लिए आपके सबसे अच्छे दोस्त हैं। वे आपकी योजनाओं के बारे में बात करने, कहानियाँ साझा करने और सिर्फ अपने जीवन को व्यवस्थित करने की नींव हैं। इन्हें सही कर लें, और आप पहले से ही बहुत अधिक स्वाभाविक लगने की राह पर हैं। वे सरल लगते हैं, लेकिन उनमें महारत हासिल करना एक बहुत बड़ा कदम है। चलिए सुनिश्चित करते हैं कि आप गलती से किसी ज़ूम साक्षात्कार को गलत दिन के लिए कभी भी शेड्यूल न करें।today, tomorrow, और yesterday शब्द समय के क्रियाविशेषण हैं। यह कहने का एक फैंसी तरीका है कि वे आपको बताते हैं कि कुछ *कब* होता है। उन्हें एक कैलेंडर पर साधारण समय मार्कर के रूप में सोचें। Yesterday अभी से पहले का दिन है। Today यह वर्तमान, 24-घंटे का समय ब्लॉक है जिसमें आप हैं। और tomorrow आने वाला अगला दिन है। वे अंग्रेजी में सबसे आम शब्दों में से कुछ हैं, जिनका उपयोग दोस्तों को टेक्स्ट करने (coffee tomorrow?) से लेकर आधिकारिक फॉर्म भरने तक हर चीज में किया जाता है। वे अतीत, वर्तमान और भविष्य को अलग करने के लिए आपके पहले और सबसे महत्वपूर्ण उपकरण हैं। बहुत सारे व्याकरण के विपरीत, इन शब्दों के लिए याद रखने के लिए कोई जटिल अंत या क्रिया परिवर्तन नहीं हैं। असली चाल उन्हें सही क्रिया काल के साथ मिलाना है, जैसे एक पोशाक के साथ सही जूते जोड़ना।How This Grammar Works
today सोमवार है, yesterday रविवार था, और tomorrow मंगलवार है। यदि आप इसे शुक्रवार को पढ़ते हैं, तो today शुक्रवार है, yesterday गुरुवार था, और tomorrow शनिवार है। वे 'अब' के लंगर हैं।Yesterdayअतीत की ओर इशारा करता है। इसलिए, आपको इसके साथ भूत काल की क्रिया का उपयोग करना चाहिए। उदाहरण:I *walked* to the store yesterday.Todayवर्तमान दिन की ओर इशारा करता है। आप वर्तमान काल (I *am* busy today), दिन में पहले हुई किसी चीज़ के लिए भूत काल (I *ate* breakfast today), या दिन में बाद में होने वाली किसी चीज़ के लिए भविष्य काल (I *will call* you today) का उपयोग कर सकते हैं। यह थोड़ा लचीला सुपरस्टार है।Tomorrowभविष्य की ओर इशारा करता है। इसलिए, आपको भविष्य काल की क्रिया का उपयोग करना चाहिए। उदाहरण:We *will watch* a movie tomorrow.याWe *are going to watch* a movie tomorrow.
Formation Pattern
today, tomorrow, या yesterday शब्दों को बिल्कुल भी बदलने की ज़रूरत नहीं है। कोई बहुवचन रूप नहीं, कोई विशेष अंत नहीं। वे खूबसूरती से सरल हैं। एकमात्र 'पैटर्न' यह है कि आप उन्हें एक वाक्य में कहाँ रखते हैं।
Yesterday, I played video games.
Today, I have a lot of homework.
Tomorrow, she is visiting her family.
I played video games yesterday.
I have a lot of homework today.
She is visiting her family tomorrow.
I played yesterday video games बहुत अजीब लगता है। शुरुआत या अंत में रहें। यह आपके मोज़े पहनने जैसा है। वे आपके जूतों से पहले जा सकते हैं, या आप उन्हें पकड़ सकते हैं ... लेकिन आप उन्हें अपने जूतों के *बाद* नहीं पहन सकते। यह बस काम नहीं करता है।

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल (8)
It is better to say `last night`. While people will understand you, `last night` is the standard expression.
It can be both! In 'Tomorrow is Monday,' it is a noun. In 'I will go tomorrow,' it is an adverb.
Yes, it is common to put a comma after a time word at the beginning: `Yesterday, I went to the store.`
Yes, in a general sense, it can mean 'nowadays' or 'in this era'. Example: `Today, technology is everywhere.`
In English, relative time words like `today`, `tomorrow`, and `yesterday` act as adverbs that already include the 'on' meaning within them.
There isn't a single common word like 'tomorrow'. We just say `the day after tomorrow`.
We say `the day before yesterday`. Some old books use 'ereyesterday,' but no one says that now!
No. `Tomorrow` is for the future. You must use a future verb like 'will' or 'is going to'.
